Physics Fail

So on Friday my Physics teacher decided to combine my two least favorite subjects: Physics and Gym. I was doomed to fail miserably the moment I stepped into classroom a few minutes late.

My athletic ability looks about like this:


Basically I am a failure at sports. I have dislocated my knee playing volleyball and had to go to the hospital, and just last Fall I got a neck injury from a hit and fall in flag football.

I walked into the classroom and the teacher was waiting for the computer to reboot and while he was doing that he had a student standing at the front passing a ping pong to students to throw at the sink in the counter. I had come in a few minutes late so I had no clue what was going on.


General paths of the ping pongs people were throwing.

Suddenly the student at the front starts talking to me telling me that they are trying to get the ping pong in the sink and that it was my turn. I seriously looked behind me in hopes that he was talking to someone else but when I turned my head around and pointed at myself the ball came flying towards me.

When it comes down to it, I couldn't throw something on the path I want it to go to save my life. I took my best aim. I knew I wasn't going to make the sink, but I was definitely not expecting to hit my teacher right in the stomach.


Especially since he was standing a couple feet away and the sink was in my direct line of path and he wasn't. I looked like I did it on purpose, but really I'm just terrible at throwing. If I fail Physics I'm blaming it on this.

Educational Song

When I went caving last school year, which is an epic story of its own, my friend sang a song she learned in Girl Scouts. I decided to add pictures to the lyrics.

Words and Music to "Bats Eat Bugs" are by Steve Van Zandt and the song is copyrighted by The Banana Slug String Band.

Bats Eat Bugs. 


They Don't Eat People.


Bats Eat Bugs.


They Don't Fly In Your Hair.


Bats Eat Bugs. They Eat Insects For Dinner.


That's Why They're Flying Out There.




Oh the joys of Girl Scout camp.

Dream: Super Secret Mission

I dream almost every night. In fact I also dream almost every time I nap, even if for only ten minutes. I repeat a lot of dreams, but many of them are bizarre and unique. I have had several dreams where I can fly. I always wake up thinking that I can still fly however when I pull reality back together I am sadly disappointed.

This is the strangest flying dream I have ever had:

Normally in my flying dreams I flap my arms to fly and I am usually flying outside around my parent's house and barn where I grew up.


However in this dream I had a special hat that facilitated my flying and it looked exactly like this:


And I wasn't at my parents house, but instead I was flying all over Paris.


On a Secret Mission.


I was flying into rooms through the windows of buildings searching for something super important.


A Koala Bear.


And after searching many people's apartments I found the super important Koala in a toybox.


Then I woke up and was disappointed I didn't own a flying cap.

Pictures of the Day

My younger brother's Thanksgiving feast (don't let the wording fool you, he's 18).


My favorite part: the chunk of cranberry sauce at the edge of the plate.
And for all who are worried that he might have stuffed himself too much, here is the after photo:


My favorite part is still the cranberry sauce.
